I had one of those "my antique alarm system doesn't work on your ATA,
and I know you said get a POTS line for the alarm but I ignored you" calls.
Was trying to troubleshoot that. Nothing major.

What are you trying to accomplish? My Alarm panel has this built in
if you wire the POTS line to it before anything else.

From the verbal description I got, it sounds more like the "Priority
line grabber" about 1/3 of the way down this page:

I didn't realize how many varieties of such a thing there might
be.....I guess I'll have to get eyes on it.

Line Exclusion device. I found a few online. I remember putting
one on the
hall phone at a school. It was on one of the main lines of the
school. The
kids could use the hall phone unless someone in the office was using
that
line. Saved them from buying another line.

Oh, geeze.... I remember how they worked.... line isolator?
Exclusion something. Privacy adapter. Something like that.
Line excluder? Exclusion device. Automatic exclusion.
Seems like the word exclusion was in there. Google it and you will
probably
find one.
There are also line sharing devices that would block another line if
a fax
was in use.

What's the proper term for a device that will take over a phone line
if the
phone connected to it picks up? Like the device they use to put an
elevator
emergency phone onto the fax line.
